Hi, Jono here!
This picture is from one of our trips to the beautiful Uyuni salt flats, considered one of the most extreme and remarkable vistas in all of South America. Stretching more than 4,050 square miles it is the world’s largest salt flat, left behind by prehistoric lakes evaporated long ago. Here, a thick crust of salt extends to the horizon, covered by quilted, polygonal patterns of salt rising from the ground.
While very little can survive these unique conditions, Quinoa thrives. It's when Jess and I realised we were onto a protein-rich crop which inspired us to create

Hi - we're Jess & Jono, the faces behind KeenWah. Here's a little about us! 👇
We've always eaten plenty of quinoa, but the idea to drink started as a kitchen experiment (and a fussy toddler!)
A staple at our brekky table, KeenWah started as a Bondi Market side-hustle, serving up porridge to hungry locals. It was even the first solid food our kids tried - so one day we decided to put the porridge through the cold press. When our 1-year-old drank the whole lot and asked for seconds, we thought we might be onto something here! And so, the seed of KeenWah MilQ was planted - pun intended! We'd love to know what you think - let us know how you prefer your by tagging us!

Pour it, sip it, heat it. KeenWah MilQ goes anywhere and everywhere. The only limit? Your imagination. Just don't forget to tag us in your creations...

Do you know where your favourite plant milk comes from? While many brands begin their plant extraction overseas, top-shelf KeenWah MilQ begins right here. Our need-to-know proprietary process of extracting quinoa and turning it into MilQ is all-Australian, from extraction to distribution!

Not all plant-based foods are created equal.
Quinoa is one of the few that contains all nine essential amino acids, which are vital nutrients our body can't produce. They are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, threonine, histidine, tryptophan and valine.
It’s plant-based, top-shelf, full-stack essential amino acid nutrition 💯

Scotch Fingers - a classic Aussie biccie, perfect with your afternoon cuppa. But... what is the correct way to eat them?
Do you break it in half and have it as two separate fingers?
Or do you just chomp on it as one big biscuit?

When we say quinoa is one of the world’s most sustainable crops, we mean it. Put simple, quinoa needs less water and fewer resources to grow. This means less carbon is produced by making KeenWah MilQ when compared to dairy milk or even other plant-based alternatives. So choosing MilQ equals less impact on the 🌏 a better future for everyone 💚

Our MilQ🥛 is special in many ways but one important factor is that we know exactly where our ingredients come from - shout out to the Organic Quinoa farmers we’ve been working with and visiting for over a decade. Without them, none of this is possible.

Known as the “Golden Grain of The Andes”, Quinoa was the daily diet of Inca civilizations more than 5,000 years ago. Today, it is a popular superfood and is highly regarded for its high protein content and delicious flavour. Quinoa does not contain gluten - it is the perfect addition for people diagnosed with celiac disease.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Quinoa’s adaptability to climate variability and its efficient use of water make it an excellent crop for our changing climate. It’s ranked among the twenty-one seeds most resistant to climate change along with beans, corn, amaranth, onions and others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This makes it pivotal for food security and the eradication of poverty, as recognised by the UN. They even declared 2013 as the “International Year of Quinoa”, highlighting its nutritional qualities and adaptability."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Introducing, the breakfast of champions.💡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quinoa’s unique nutrients profile led NASA to add it to their astronauts’ diet on long space missions. In fact a 1993 NASA technical paper says, “while no single food can supply all the essential life sustaining nutrients, quinoa comes as close as any other in the plant or animal kingdom.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For over 10 years, we’ve been sourcing, importing and supplying quinoa seeds, under Impulse International. Between quinoa's protein and fibre content, plus the mineral and amino acid profile, it’s a seed worth travelling across the world for. It ticks all the boxes - it’s nutritious, delicious and sustainable. And just like us, our customers like to know where the food on their plates comes from. So we source it, bring it back, and deliver to you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know Quinoa has so many amazing health benefits? The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the UN says quinoa is the closest living plant product to a complete food – meaning if you were stuck on an island with just one food, you’d survive longest with quinoa!
